Born to parents Roberto and Valentina Carbonell April 28, 1936, Maria grew up a calm and somewhat sheltered life. Her parents owned and ran a small vineyard that sold to the local townspeople, and the young woman was set to take over once married. Finishing school in 1954, her focus became the family vineyard and helping out her family in any way she could.
It wasn’t until she met Howard Stark at the age of seventeen when the charming man was on business in her hometown of Milan, Italy ( depending on the verse, she could have been in America instead ). Taking a liking to him quickly and easily, Maria left with him to go to the States, getting her citizenship in the country and eventually marrying the successful millionaire August 16th, 1963. She was many years younger than him, but she did not mind the age difference, though many believed she was only marrying him for his money; that could not be further from the truth.
On May 29th, 1970, Maria gave birth to their first child, Anthony Edward Stark, after having experienced two miscarriages. It was a miracle, really, and Maria doted on the young boy, even through his rebellious stages. However, she made sure to instill in him manners and a high respect for women, despite his eventual womanizing ways. With that said, he's never once looked down on a woman or insulted one, something Maria is proud of.
And then, December 16th, 1991, the whole world seemed to end, and quite literally for Maria. The assassination had been carried out by one of Hydra's best, James "Bucky" Barnes, and though the man made sure to end Howard's life, the Italian belle held on to just enough of her own, even though Bucky had nearly seen to it that her last breath was taken; he simply let go too soon. Knowing of SHIELD and Howard’s involvement by now, though, those that could still be trusted were able to locate and save her just before she crossed over permanently. Performing multiple emergency surgeries to save Maria, including injecting her with Kree blood/DNA, they eventually were able to, but not without odd side effects. The woman’s aging had been thrown off in the process, Maria now resembling her roughly thirty-six year old self. At this point, with only few SHIELD personnel knowing of the Hydra contamination within the organization, they knew they had to hide her from the public eye and anyone else’s eye, putting her in a safe house and forbidding her to contact anyone she’d once known.
It was hard and still is to this day, but Maria has gotten by for over two decades, keeping tabs on her son through SHIELD and through the media. However, she’s quickly growing tired of listening to SHIELD and is still being put under surveillance by SHIELD’s most trusted, even after the group’s fall. It’s only a matter of time before she defies their orders and reunites with Tony. She can only hope he doesn’t hate her for what she’s done to him. Maria would hate herself if she were in his place, but she doesn’t lose hope. No, not yet.
i only have a few rules when it comes to commissioning me, but i feel it best to put them before prices and services so that they're seen first! without further ado, here we go:
1. i accept payments only through PayPal. furthermore, i only take USD (US dollars).
2. i do not accept fan arts UNLESS you can prove to me you have the artists's permission to use said fan art, or the art was made specifically for you.
3. all of my prices are based on how long it takes me to complete what is requested. i've done these things long enough to have a relatively good idea on how long it'll take me to complete each "order", so again, all prices are based on how long it takes me to complete each order. i do not charge for content used.
4. i will take up to 4 commissions at a time for my own personal sanity, and any extras will be put on a waitlist.

Spending his morning in a crowded cafe wasn’t exactly his thing, but he needed to get coffee in his system, and fast, otherwise he has no idea how he’s supposed to get through the day (with his flask already empty).
Desperate times, right?
He sighs once he finally manages to squeeze past the people, looking for a place to sit quietly (hoping his glasses are enough to keep his identity low-key). He does his best to keep his mug in place without any coffee spilling on his shirt, eyes wandering around to find an empty spot-
- And stop on a familiar figure instead.
He freezes in place, eyes wide, lips almost parted. Without realising, he begins walking towards the small table in the corner, placing a hand on the back of the empty chair there, looking down at the woman before him.
“Is this seat taken?”
it’s normal for maria to take days to herself, to get fresh air ( with shield’s permission, of course ), but it’s hardly normal for her to be approached by anyone, let alone her son. she’s sipping at her coffee when the figure walks towards her, but she won’t lift her head in hopes he’s simply walking by her; that’s not the case here. his voice is like a thousand knives stabbing into her heart, and as she lifts her head to look at him, azure hues barely suppress the anguish running through her now. all of this happens in a matter of seconds, though, for maria is shaking her head as she straightens up in her seat. ❛ no. you may have it. ❜ she half expects the man, her son, to simply take the seat elsewhere — maybe he’s got a friend he’s finding a seat for! — but a part of her knows better. lips thinned, though hardly out of anger, maria goes quiet as she awaits his next action.
